Using binding with Member of GroupDescriptor

[Subhendu]

I can easily assign a value to member in XAML :

<telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
                <telerikData:GroupDescriptor Member="FirstName" />
</telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>

But what if I want to bind a value to the member property  As per the documentation , member is a CLR propertey and I can not use the binding as :

<telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
                <telerikData:GroupDescriptor Member="{Binding FilterType}" />

</telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>.

 private string filterType =  "FirstName";

        public string FilterType
        {
            get { return filterType; }
            set { filterType = value; }
        }

What the other way around? Custom control  looks like a solution but telerik is already a custom control. Deriving from it and adding a dependency property seems redundant.

Hi,

RadGridView would not sense any changes in the member of the group descriptor. It would trigger grouping only on adding a new one. Binding in this case is not applicable even if you could manage to bind the property  somehow.

So Is there a way I can update the Member value dynamically.

Hello,

Unfortunately this would not be possible. 

Kind regards,
